That's admittedly confusing, but when using mod_perl-2, you
should ignore the recommendation to install version 1.022 of
Apache::Filter, which is for use with mod_perl-1. The
mod_perl-2 package contains it's own Apache::Filter, which
is at version 0.01.

A trigger here you can use to infer this is the requirement
of Apache::Constants, which is a mod_perl-1-specific
package; in mod_perl-2, this functionality has been split up
into three packages: Apache::Const, APR::Const, and
ModPerl::Const.
